Why You Should Swap Your Cereal For Muesli

Cereal is what most people grow up on, and it is seemingly the easiest go to-breakfast meal. However, even though it can be convenient and inexpensive, you can pay the price later in the day. Cereal is usually loaded with sugar, which will inflate your blood sugar and then have it drop too low, not much long after you eat it. You also don’t get many vitamins, minerals, or other health benefits like good fats or fiber.

Instead, switch to muesli, a German breakfast cereal that has been around for over a hundred years. Its base is rolled oats, and from there, you can really customize it to whatever tickles your fancy. Here’s a recipe for muesli that is easy, sugar-free, and vegan!

Ingredients

For this muesli, you will need coconut flakes, rolled oats, brazil nuts, peanuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds and a flavorless oil. If you don’t like coconut or you only have certain types of nuts, use whatever you have!

Method

  1. If you have time, soak your nuts and seeds the night before, or for an hour in boiling water
  2. Chop the nuts and combine with the other dry ingredients in a bowl
  3. Pour in the oil and distribute well
  4. Put on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes at a low temperature.
  5. Store for up to three weeks in a glass jar!
